    Help??

    Hmmm. There are a couple of approaches and I think that I would have the prefix be a separate field in the table(s). If you do that then you do not have to parse or do anything else. The user can select the prefix from a combo box on the main form and they should be good to go. I hope that I...

    Help??

    You do not link unbound fields in a form/subform. Not sure what it is you want to do, but some details on what you are after will help someone here to help you. Also, since you already have the left two charactors in the 'Mod1Ser' field you do not want to extract them and save them in another...

    "Instance" of a form as a subform

    You web site looks fine! My question is about the Time Matrix database... No matter which 'square' I enter data into it always shows up in the upper left 'Urgent' part of the form? Just curious... Jack

    Searching Memo Field Problem

    This article may give you some ideas on how to search for multiple criteria. As dcx693 suggested, I would take the time to learn the QBF method I suggested earlier. Good luck with your project! Jack

    I would suggest that you look at this article and use it instead of your current approach. Using this approach you can use Or for that particular field you want to search. hth, Jack

    rename a table

    Here is one way that you can do what you want. I will assume an unbound control on a form where the user will enter the name of the table they want to create: Dim strSQL As String Dim MyVariable As String MyVariable = Me.ControlOnForm strSQL = "SELECT MyTable.CustID, MyTable.LastName...

    "Instance" of a form as a subform

    I am not aware of any way to open 4 'instances' of a single form, modify them and then place them in subforms. I understand your desire to 'go where no man has gone before' but is it worth it? Other than personal satisfaction I don't see any programming advantage to doing this. As for a...

    rename a table

    Hmmm. I would suggest that you look into normalization and maybe a sample inventory database or two. You do not want to be adding/renaming tables for any reason. Also, inventory control in a database is something of a science and I would suggest that you read as much as you can on this subject...

    Command button to insert OLE object?

    This article may give you some ideas. There is also a lot of good information in Access Help under 'linked objects'. The common dialog box is an Active X control that is available from the Toolbox under More Controls. (I have the Developers Edition of Access and this Control is available, but I...

    Combining two records.

    You have a mess on your hands. If you are not familiar with Access and Access code then I would suggest you stick with your current solution...unless you want to learn Access. What you want to do goes against most database principals so I do not understand why your company insists on doing it...

    Command button to insert OLE object?

    Not a good idea to save pictures in a database because your database will become huge. Search the MS KB for Linking Pictures and you will find articles there on how to link to your pictures rather than storing them in the database. Then you can use the common dialog box to find the picture and...

    Updating Subform

    If your tables are set up correctly there is no need to save the Category in two tables. If Categories is your Master/Child link then set the Master link to the combo box. hth, Jack
